Industrial-Strength SGML: An Introduction to Enterprise Publishing

Based on the author's own experience as a pioneer user on a major scale of
generalized markup concepts, and written under the demanding eye of the inventor
of SGML, Charles F. Goldfarb, this book is intended for the decision-makers in
an enterprise publishing operation who need to know what SGML is, what its
applications are, and how it can be applied to resolution of the major issues
facing in-house publishers today.

While no mention is made in this book of XML,
most of it applies to XML as well as SGML. From a conceptual standpoint, the
chief difference is that XML does not require the presence of a DTD for
processing. This difference allows for dynamic document rendering in the
demanding environment of the web.
